Sweeties Packer Suffers 4-Game Suspension Thursday, August 1st , 2052 There was a hostile encounter between Justin Packer and the men in blue in yesterday's Sarasota-Thousand Oaks game. The Sweeties catcher was tossed for arguing a called third strike. Actually he did a little more than just complain about the call -- he got in the umpire's face and had to be restrained by his manager. "I don't think I did anything to deserve to be thrown out of the game in the first place, never mind be suspended," Packer stated. "That's unbelievable. I still don't know why he threw me out of the game. I didn't charge over there until after he gave me the heave-ho." The league office did not agree with his assessment of the confrontation and suspended Packer for 4 games. So far this year, Packer has 4 home runs and a .251 batting average. |
